...kinetic experience," he says. "On a dark, rainy day, the walls would turn bright and cheery. We're the pioneers, but think of the artists growing up today. They will know about computers, programming and electronics. Think of what they'll be able to do. Buck Rogers is coming to life...
...monument to awkwardness. Only Jean Paul Belmondo seems to see the ludicrous futility in it all--he looks as if he were going to wink at any moment. Leslie Caron perfects her crying technique, the one where she ever so emotionally quivers her upper lip over those embarrassing buck teeth and turns bravely liquid. Alain Delon's limp wrist isn't quite that of an underground leader and Kirk Douglas's General Patton is something to behold.

But the vast majority of these children are the offspring of white G.I.s. Finding foster parents for Negro-fathered children is much harder. With that in mind, the Pearl S. Buck Foundation began operating in Korea just last month. Its initial hopes are modest: to provide funds directly to mothers of Negro-Korean children so that the little lost half-castes will have at least some chance of growing up with enough food to eat in homes of their...
